Miley Cyrus sizzles in black leather after revealing the REAL reason for rift with dad Billy Ray
Miley Cyrus turned heads in a black, leather minidress at her album release party for Something Beautiful in New York City on Friday evening. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter made a stunning entrance at queer nightclub, 3 Dollar Bill, in Brooklyn as she arrived in an edgy-chic ensemble. To the excitement of bright-eyed onlookers, she arrived in ultra glamorous fashion with her long, brunette tresses styled in a wet-hair look paired with a sexy, all-black outfit. She had a big smile on her face after dropping her highly anticipated, ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, and unleashing her Easy Lover music video. Her celebration comes just shortly after breaking her silence on her father Billy Ray Cyrus ' shock romance with Elizabeth Hurley as she addressed their past estrangement for the first time. Miley Cyrus turned heads in a black, leather minidress at her album release party for Something Beautiful in New York City on Friday evening The pop star's new release follows on the heels of her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation, which featured her hit single Flowers. Something Beautiful will be accompanied by a visual film of the same name, which is set to debut in theaters for one night only on June 12 and will premiere next week at the Tribeca Film Festival. For her album release party, the former Disney star dressed up to the nines as she modeled a long-sleeved, leather minidress with a plunging neckline and a full-length zipper. She paired the sexy garb with matching, leather gloves and a low-waisted belt for an additional touch of glamour. She also donned sheer, black tights paired with patent, leather pumps and rectangular, wraparound sunglasses for the special occasion. Amid her record release, Cyrus also broke her silence about her father Billy Ray Cyrus' shocking new romance with Elizabeth Hurley as she talked about their estrangement for the first time. She said that seeing both of her parents as 'individuals' and watching them find happiness has helped her 'grow up.' 'As I've gotten older, I respect my parents as individuals instead of as parents because, you know, my mom really loved my dad for her whole life,' Cyrus said on The Interview, a New York Times podcast. 'I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult. So I owned a lot of her pain as mine. But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, Dom, who I completely adore, and now that I see my dad finding happiness outside of that too, I can love them both as individuals instead of as a kind of parental pairing. I'm being an adult about it.' Her mother Tish, 58, split from country singer Billy Ray in 2022 after 28 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in 2023. Tish married Prison Break star Dominic Purcell in August that same year. Recently, Billy Ray debuted his new romance with Elizabeth Hurley. About his new relationship, Cyrus admitted: 'At first, it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, "Yes, that's your dad. But that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy." So my adult self has caught up. My child self has caught up.' Billy Ray, 63, was first linked to the actress, 59, in April this year, following the end of his short-lived marriage to 36-year-old singer Firerose. About how she has reconnected with her dad in recent months, she added: 'Timing is everything. There's been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected.'

Miley Cyrus Surprises Fans With Intimate ‘Something Beautiful' Set At Chateau Marmont
There was a lot of love in the room at the Chateau Marmont Tuesday night as Miley Cyrus debuted her album Something Beautiful for a small crowd of about 100 fans — as evidenced by the couple that got engaged right in front of a surprised Cyrus after she wrapped up a performance of her song 'End of the World.' 'Go get a room, put it on my bill,' Cyrus said, jaw agape as the couple embraced and the crowd erupted in cheers. More from The Hollywood Reporter Edge of Seventeen: How the K-Pop Powerhouse Is Reinventing Itself How Reneé Rapp Says Her Mom Manifested Her Becoming a "Pop Star" Sass to Sobs, Diddy's Ex-Assistant Testifies About Gunpoint Kidnapping But Changes Some Details It was a fittingly intimate moment for the evening, hosted by TikTok, as the fans hand selected by Cyrus's team on the platform got to listen to Something Beautiful in full before Cyrus surprised the attendees with a 45-minute set. The crowd was made up mainly of fans, but also had a few friends like Anya Taylor-Joy. The crowd piled into the Chateau at 6 p.m., with most expecting just to listen to the album a few days early before its wide release this Friday. But by 7 p.m., the chatty room briefly went silent, wondering what was happening next before once again exploding with shouts and applause as Cyrus came out up front with her band. 'You like your style, and you love mine,' Cyrus quipped, glammed out in a shimmering silver old Hollywood-style dress as she started with Something Beautiful track 'More to Lose.' She then played latest single 'Easy Lover' before belting last year's smash hit 'Flowers,' telling the crowd she hopes all of her upcoming album's songs 'touch people the way this song has.' Cyrus, flanked pianist Michal Pollack, drummer Maxx Morando and guitarist Jonathan Rado, was loose and comfortable around her fans, opining between songs about growing up together and how the fans In the room have stuck with her through the many changes in her sound and personal life since her days as a teen idol as Hannah Montana nearly 20 years ago. 'We really did grow up together, that's why it's so emotional for all of us, we've been on this journey together,' Cyrus said. 'We start to even outgrow ourselves, there's things we gain but things we also leave behind. And I've never wanted that to be you. I've never wanted that to be my fans, everyone I grew up with. As I started to go deeper on my own personal journey, it's always been my hope and vision that you all would come with me. It's always greatly appreciated when you do, and you always do.' Talking about that growth and the 'different species' of butterflies she gets in the room with her fans, she then went into an impromptu performance of 'The Climb,' joking that she 'wasn't going to perform' the song before fans goaded her. She finished up with 'End of the World.' During her set, Cyrus had talked about making Something Beautiful, which will also have an accompanying film, over the past couple years amid the Endless Summer Vacation era, joking that 'I wasn't on vacation, I was making the next album.' 'The next time you're spamming the comments, just know I'm busy in my bikini,' she said. Cyrus walked fans through the concept of Something Beautiful, telling the crowd 'it's about taking these experiences, even when they're painful or we want to throw them away because they're just too much to bear, and wrapping them in beautiful bows and ribbons and appreciating all these gifts and experiences that we can't understand how they're going to serve us later in our life.' While she's days away from the Something Beautiful era even coming into full swing, before she finished up the night with 'End of the World,' Cyrus teased even more music, readying fans to come along for that ride too. 'My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that,' she said as her fans cheered her on. 'Something Beautiful is just the appetizer.'

Morgan Wallen review – country's biggest star sings of whiskey, heartbreak … and more whiskey
Morgan Wallen's world domination continues apace. The country singer's last two albums spent 29 weeks at the top of the US chart. This week his latest, fourth offering, I'm the Problem, had the biggest opening week of the year so far in the US as well as going straight in at No 1 in the UK. This prodigious achievement may owe a little to a canny release strategy: streaming metrics mean that longer albums often chart higher, and I'm the Problem weighs in at a staggering 37 tracks. Equally, all 37 are in the US singles chart this week, setting a new record – Wallen is a commercial phenomenon, the biggest country star to cross over to mainstream success since Taylor Swift. Like Swift, Wallen's tours have graduated from arenas to stadiums, which makes this rare intimate album-launch show a spectacularly hot ticket. The preshow queue, in which Stetsons and cowboy boots figure large, stretches way down Chalk Farm Road in north London: 'I hear 300,000 people tried to get tickets for tonight,' marvels Wallen. Yet it is hard to see why there is quite that level of fuss. Not even Wallen's fiercest defenders would claim he is remotely groundbreaking. A laid-back, mustachioed, regular guy possessed of an easy-going charm, he simply perches on a bar stool and plays smooth, well-crafted country and western powered by earworm melodies. His six-piece band are slick and his lyrical themes are repetitive. Wallen sings about drinking to forget women who leave him because he drinks. He bids these escapers from his serial doomed relationships a self-pitying, passive-aggressive adieu: 'If I'm the problem, you might be the reason.' Then he drinks some more, and longs for their return. These laments have the ring of authenticity. Wallen's appeal rests largely in him being a flawed everyman figure (with two recent court convictions for public intoxication). The maudlin Superman finds him sighing that his toddler son will one day learn of his dad's transgressions: 'That bottle's my kryptonite, brings a man of steel down to his knees.' It's hokum, but oddly moving. Love Somebody has a melody as exquisite as Fleetwood Mac at their most swooning as Wallen craves a romance 'stronger than the whiskey'. The witty wordplay inherent in all the best country is present and correct: Whiskey Glasses begins, 'Poor me… pour me another drink.' And then Wallen takes his leave and ambles off to notch up a million more streams.

New Irish albums reviewed and rated: The Would-Be's, Varo, Curtisy and Pete Holidai
The Would Be's: HindZeitgeist (Roundy Records) ★★★★☆ The Would Be's were stalked by several big record labels back in the 1990s, but notions of mainstream commercial success quickly unravelled. The Co Cavan band persevered fitfully, split up and then returned with all their original members almost 15 years ago. Some bands are best left to memory, but HindZeitgeist shows that there's always room for indie-pop melodies that linger in the sunshine. Stay Tuned is a superb James Bond theme song in waiting. That's How It Gets You is a shoo-in for a song of the summer, and Stupid Little Heart is a love anthem that Johnny Marr would be happy to have written. It continues with a persistent DIY superiority: three Finnegan brothers (guitarist Matty, bassist Eamonn, drummer Paul), one sassy saxophonist/trombonist (Aidine O'Reilly) and one quality singer (Julie McDonnell). Varo: The World That I Knew (Self-released) ★★★☆☆ Varo – Lucie Azconaga and Consuelo Nerea Breschi – have been integral to Ireland's trad/folk scene for about a decade. During this time they've gathered like-minded musical friends and delved into the song archives. The aim of this resourceful collaborative album, which sees the Dublin-based duo perform with John Francis Flynn, Ruth Clinton, Niamh Bury, Junior Brother, Ian Lynch, Anna Mieke and Lemoncello, among others, is to highlight the value of authentic human experiences, good and bad, across the centuries. Between elegant versions of Green Grows the Laurel (with Flynn), Let No Man Steal Your Thyme (with Lemoncello) and Work Life Out to Keep Life In (with Bury), Azconaga and Breschi have achieved that and more. Curtisy: Beauty in the Beast (Brook Records) ★★★★☆ Hot on the heels of last year's RTÉ Choice Music Prize nomination for What Was the Question, his debut album, the Dublin rapper Curtisy releases a collaborative 12-track mixtape that sieves happiness out of hopelessness. Working with the producer Hikii (who arranged several tracks on What Was the Question), the new songs flow smoothly across a blend of sample-heavy soul/jazz-influenced hip-hop. There's a particularly smart cinematic sensibility on tracks such as Fuss, Milk & Honey, Eyes, RIP2ME and The Necessary Evil, the collection's standout track, which includes a sample of Bela Lugosi as Dracula. Curtisy's lyrics and delivery are equal to those of any contemporary rapper you care to mention. Pete Holidai: Electric Jukebox Volume One (Pilgrim Sounds) ★★★☆☆ Anyone who fancies playing a game of spot the glam-rock music act can safely listen to Electric Jukebox without fear of boredom. The latest solo album from the stellar musician and producer Pete Holidai pays homage to the music that foreshadowed punk rock. A New Revolution is such a New York Dolls tribute that you can almost taste the lipstick, Daydream Girl has David Essex channelling Roxy Music, and We Had a Vision is the cheekiest blend of two David Bowie songs you know very well. In other words, this is good, clean fun delivered by someone who knows what's what every which way and inside out. Volume Two soon, if you don't mind.
